A Texas school district has reversed its decision to prohibit a fifth-grade student with special needs from sharing Bible verses with her classmates.

The case began last month in the Killeen Independent School District, in Killeen, located about 50 miles north of Austin, when the girl started sharing Bible verses printed on small, fortune cookie-sized slips of paper during recess, lunch and after school.

Attorneys with the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) say the girl’s principal and teacher confiscated the girl’s Bible verses after first allowing her to distribute them.

1 Corinthians 1:27
But God chose the foolish things of this world to put the wise to shame. He chose the weak things of this world to put the powerful to shame.

Disabled people teaching God's Word remind me of that verse.



People that share the Word of God with others can expect persecution for it.

Matthew 5:10-12
God blesses those people who are treated badly for doing right. They belong to the kingdom of heaven. God will bless you when people insult you, mistreat you, and tell all kinds of evil lies about you because of me. Be happy and excited! You will have a great reward in heaven. People did these same things to the prophets who lived long ago.



And, the American Constitution includes freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
